Hi
Based on the history given in your query I am of the opinion that you seem to have developed a mild allergic reaction apparently to the antibiotic Cefoperazone used to treat typhoid fever. It can be relieved by taking an oral antihistamine like Levocetrizine after consulting your treating physician.
However, if you develop rash, swelling around the lips and eyes or difficulty in breathing you must consult your doctor immediately.
Hope this will help.
